Kant was a keen psychological observer and theorist of the forms,
mechanisms and sources of self-deception. In this Element, the
author discusses the role of rationalizing/Vernunfteln for Kant's
moral psychology, normative ethics and philosophical methodology.
By drawing on the full breadth of examples of rationalizing Kant
discusses, the author shows how rationalizing can extend to general
features of morality and corrupt rational agents thoroughly (albeit
not completely and not irreversibly). Furthermore, the author
explains the often-overlooked roles common human reason, empirical
practical reason and even pure practical reason play for
rationalizing. Kant is aware that rationality is a double-edged
sword; reason is the source of morality and of our dignity, but it
also enables us to seemingly justify moral transgressions to
ourselves, and it creates an interest in this justification in the
first place. Finally, this Element discusses whether Kant's ethical
theory itself can be criticised as a product of rationalizing.
